Writing BY Electricity.

The wonderful invention of writing
by electricity at a distance Of fifty miles
is thus described by the Pail Mall Ga.
zettc: "Out of the top of box, which
is about the size OF an ordinary DIS
patch-box, protrudcs what has the ap-
pearance of stylographic pen. This,
however, is not pen, but the handle Of
the 'transmitter, and its lower end is
fixed to light brass perpendicular bar.
Any motion given by the hand-you
hold it just like pen-to the handle of
the transmitter is communicated by this
bar to two series of carbon disks con-
tained within the box, and, after various
adventures among magnets, etc,
is carried again to the top of
the box, where it is reproduced ex-
actly by small ink holding pen, whose
point rests on white paper tape. A
clockwork apparatus pulls this tape
along at gentle pace; and after little
practice you find that it is quito easy to
move the handle of the transmitter SO
that the pen shall write legibly on the
moving tape. Now, whatever is writ
ten on the tape before you is written
simultaneously mile off, or it may be
fifty miles off, on similar tape, by
similar instrument at the other end of
OF the wire. The instrument is very
compact, and apparently efficient"
The inventor is Mr.. John Robertson. an
American.

How Sea Birds Oucnch Their Thirst.

The question is often asked, "Wherc
do sea birds obtain fresh water to slakc
their thirst?' But we have never seen
it satisfactorily answered until few
days ago. An old skipper with whom
we were convcrsing on the subject said
that he had seen these birds at sea, far
from any land that could furnish them
water, lowering around and under
storm cloud, Gathering like ducks on a
hot day at pond, and drinking in the
drops of rain as they fell. They will
smell rain squall hundred miles or
even further off, aud scud for it with al
most inconccivablc swiftncss.
How long sea birds can exist without
water is only matter of conjecture, but
probably their powers of enduring thirst
are increased by habit, and possibly they
go without water for many days, if not
for several weeks. II Golden Days.

Weaving in Biblical Times.

There were not many regular manu-
facturers among the ancient Jews.
There are, however several beautiful
illusions to weaving by Job, but this,
like spinning the thread, was carried on
as family employment rather than as q
regular trade. 1t is so now among
Eastern nations. The loom and the in
struments for spinning are of the plain
est and simplest kind. In the descrip-
tion of the virtuous women, Proverbs
XXI, 10, to the end we have full and
minute account of the manner in which
these family employments were directed
by the mistress. Nor was this only in
the families of the lower and middle
ranks. In the Greek and Roman his
tories we read of the wives of kings
and generals being thus engaged.
Homer, who lived soon after the time
of Solomon, describes two queens-Pene-
lope and Helcn-employed at their
looms. DR.. Shaw found that the
women in Barbary at the present day,
were the only persons who wove the
hykes or upper garments. These were
coarse articles and they did not use
shuttles, but passed the threads of the
woof with their fingers. Solomon's vir-
tuous woman is represented by our
translators OF the Bible as having cloth
ing OF silk; the word rendered silk, ac-
cording to some authorities should be
fine cotton cloth or muslin, as they state
silk was then scarcely, if at all, known.
Aureliau, the Roman Emperor 1900
years after the time of Solomon, refused
his wife silk gown, because it was too
expensive. We can therefore hardly
suppose that a Jewish woman of tho
middle class could have such clothing.

Stories Of Cats.

A pair of Siberian kittens belonging
to r. 7. Wilson of East Nottingham,
Pa, have each blue and gray eye, and
one of them has % toes.
The London Field tells OF a cat that
got nailed in under tho floor, where she
was IA days before released, and had
had three kittens. The kittens were
well nourishcd, in good condition, with
their eyes open. The cat herself was in
state of extreme cmaciaton.
Three cats of Cape Ann clubbcd their
kittens together and placed them in one
nest in George b. Shepherds stable.
There were 13 of them. Some days two
cats would remain at home with the FAM
lily while another went for food, and at
other times but one remained.
A kitten of Portland, Oregon, was
seen to charm a rattlcsnakc. The snake
was coilcd, and with its head followed
every motion of the kitten. The kitten
seemed to realize the importance of tho
situation, and never allowed her atten-
tion to wander from the snake. The
snake was killed.
A cat belonging to Scranton penn
man, is extravagantly fond of organ and
guitar music, but let her master play on
the violin she will dart at him as il
seized with fit, scratch him viciously
and squall as though IN great pain. As
soon as he lays the violin down she will
trot up to him, rub her head and back
lovingly against his ankles and pur con-

How Chinese Debtors arc Punished.


In the last batch of Chinese medical
reports which have been published by
order of the Inspector general of GUS
toms at Shanghai, DR.. w. Morrison, OF
Newchang, mentions a revolving fact
which must be new to many of our read
crs. 1t is that in some places in China
debtors who arc unable to meet tho
claims of their creditors arc punished
with the loss of sight. In the case
which came under DR.. Morrison's OBJ
servation it was the debtors son who
was the victim of this diabolical custom.
He was tied hands and feet, and deprived
wholly of the sight of one eye, while that
of the other would have been lost but for
timely surgical aid The offence was
that tho poor fellows father owed the
remorselcss creditors forty tacls, or
about ten pounds In English money DR..
Morris on was informed that tho practice
was by no means uncommon, and that
about the time hA "'s attending to his
patient another IN dying in the
same ncighhorhoc' .nilar injuries.
The Chinese autiorllIrs are investigat-
ing the matter, and VIC hope that when
Sir Robert Hart issues his next volume
he will be able to speak of such bar
baritics as things of the past, - Lond on

Death Comes Like Gentle Slumber.

usually scnsibility to pain goes with it.
So gently did a certain eminent chemist
breathe his last that a teaspoonful oi
milk which he held in his hand was not
even upset-the dead man held it still.
Death is very often a slow fading out oil

A medical friend of mine said to his
wife: "Sct that lamp up closer to me;

Such were the sensations of DR.. Adam,
